GNC Chooses Movaris Certainty for Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance; International Nutritional Supplement Retailer to Manage Compliance Globally Using Leading Software.

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Movaris, a leading provider of financial control management software, today announced that General Nutrition Centers, Inc. (GNC), the largest global specialty retailer of nutritional supplements, has chosen to implement the Movaris Certainty(TM) software application to manage its worldwide Sarbanes-Oxley compliance obligation. GNC selected Certainty because it automates internal controls based on the roles of the control participants, and it ensures global participants complete control tasks in a timely manner. GNC evaluated multiple software solutions and ultimately was impressed with Certainty's ease of use.

Movaris Certainty offers complete support for the documentation, review, improvement, and attestation phases of Section 404 and 302 certification. It integrates tightly with the COSO framework and through automation of the control environment, ensures timely completion and regular testing of controls. If Certainty finds weaknesses in the control environments, it automatically escalates the issue to the appropriate manager and tracks the issue through to resolution, improving the overall financial control environment. In addition, Certainty produces the reports needed for compliance on demand.

"Global retailers like GNC have very specific needs in a Sarbanes-Oxley compliance solution," said Eric Keller, chief executive officer of Movaris. "We specifically developed Certainty to manage the workflow challenges of large corporations, to ensure that compliance becomes a continuous, transparent business activity, rather than a time-consuming, expensive irritation, and to ensure that compliance provides a platform for a strong, on-going financial control environment."
